Re: Upcoming Unit 1B Meetings

Date: 2/13/12

______

We are looking forward to the second face-to-face session for the KYAE Common Core Standards PD for Mathematics. Thank you to everyone who has been posting completed unpacking charts in ANGEL. Please keep two points in mind:

Wait until you have feedback from your coach before posting a second submission.
Please label every submission by team number and submission number.

Please bring the following items with you to the next face-to-face session:

Each individual -- the binder that you received during the first session
Each program –
Three resources that you typically use to teach multiplication and division

Two commonly used resources for teaching mathematics that support your assigned standards

For this training, a resource is considered to be an entire workbook series. For example, one resource would be Steck-Vaughn’s Pre-GED and GED mathematics workbooks; a second resource would be Achieving TABE Success Levels E, M, D, and A mathematics workbooks. If your program does not use workbooks, bring multi-levels of whatever you use for mathematics instruction.

A hard copy of your team’s completed unpacking charts.
A laptop computer with your team’s downloaded chart for aligning resources (found in ANGEL, lessons tab, team activities folder). Your program will be given time to work together in the afternoon to align resources to your team’s standards.

We will meet at the same location used in for the first meeting, beginning the session promptly at 9:00 and concluding no later than 4:00. Please check the mathematics schedule in your binder for meeting dates.

Lunch will provided.

Questions or information about meals (e.g., requests for a vegetarian meal) should come to me at . Questions about the meeting content should go to Connie at .

KYAE Common Core Standards Professional Development -- 2011-2012

Levels of Resource Alignment
Tight Alignment:
The resource or text sufficiently supports students’ mastery of the concepts and skills within the standard without the need for additional resources.

Partial Alignment:
The resource or text addresses the standard, but additional resources are needed to fill the gaps and teach this standard well and in the necessary depth.

No Alignment:
The resource or text does not cover the standard at all or covers it too poorly for students to gain mastery of the standard.
/ Confirm Alignment Work
Once resources have been reviewed and scored, ask the following questions:
How many of the standards are tightly aligned to the resource or textbook?
How many of the standards are partially aligned or not aligned to the resource?
Do scores of 2, 1, or 0 predominate?
Should the resource by retained? If so, should it be supplemented?
Resources that score mainly 2s
If the resource scores mainly 2s, seek additional resources to support the teaching of those standards in the few instances where alignment is weak.
Resources that score mainly 1s
If a resource scores mainly 1s, but with some degree of tight alignment, or 2s, consider whether or not to continue using it to address a limited set of standards.
If you decide not to use it, seek better resources for the remaining standards.
Resources that score mainly 0s.
If a resource scores mainly 0s and the rest 1s, new resources more closely aligned with standards need to be purchased or developed by your program.
It does not matter how long the resource has been used or how dedicated instructors are to it. If the resource is not well aligned, it will not help students master the standard.

Numbered Heads Together

Numbered Heads Together is a Kagan Structure that meets the needs of a diverse classroom, increases student engagement, promotes active learning, and allows for authentic assessment. It conveys the message that ALL students are valued and can achieve. Use of the structure creates a classroom climate conducive to quality questioning. (For more information on the work of Dr. Spencer Kagan, go to

STEPS FOR NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER

Step 1: Place participants in numbered groups & assign numbers to each group. (In the classroom -- usually 4 to a group; ideally, 1 higher achiever, 1 who may struggle, 2 middle achievers)

Step 2: Assign numbers 1 to 4 to the participants in each group. Each participant has both a group/table number and an individual number.

Step 3: Teacher poses a question/problem.

Step 4: Participants “put their heads together” to discuss the question/problem and to agree on an answer. (Build in “wait time.”) There is an expectation that everyone in the group has to answer following the discussion.

Step 5: Teacher randomly generates a participant number by rolling a die. All with that number are now alert.

Step 6: Groups have an opportunity to make sure the participant with the selected number can answer the question/problem.

Step 7: Teacher randomly generates a group number by rolling a die.

Step 8: Selected participant from selected group answers.

In one research study focusing on Numbered Heads Together, student failure on content-related tests was virtually eliminated (Maheady, Mallette, & Saccca, 1991, p.31)
